Following the Hamas terror attack in the Israeli communities of the

Negev, numerous foreign workers numbering in the thousands, have departed. This,

coupled with the absence of Palestinian laborers, has created a profound

labor crisis in Israel. This project aims to address the acute labor crisis

faced by Israeli agriculture. Our proposal focuses on swift action to bridge

this labor gap and fortify Israeli agricultural resilience through strategic interventions:

Rapid Recruitment Program: Facilitate the expedited, high-quality

recruitment of agricultural trainees from Tanzania and Kenya,

complementing existing programs such as AICAT. Emphasis on

aligning their arrival with established training frameworks.

Innovative Work-Study Initiative: Establish an agricultural worker

program where students from Israeli and universities can earn

academic credits, gain practical experience, and receive training,

contributing directly to Israeli farms while advancing their education

and practical knowledge.

Let’s partner together to raise awareness and resources to ensure the resilience and

prosperity of Israeli agriculture.
